Keane Score Their Fifth Consecutive Number One Album

Keane's new album, 'Strangeland', debuted at Number One in the UK charts on Sunday - their fifth consecutive number one album, equalling Coldplay and Radiohead, and beaten only by The Beatles.

'Strangeland' marks a hugely successful return for the band and has made the Top Ten around the world. It is their fourth studio album, and follows their other chart topping releases 'Hopes & Fears' (2004); 'Under The Iron Sea' (2006); 'Perfect Symmetry' (2008) and the 'Night Train' EP (2010) (which also topped the UK’s main album chart).

Said Keane frontman Tom Chaplin: “Eight years ago we set out on a pretty extraordinary adventure, happy in the knowledge that just releasing a record was enough for us as a struggling band! It's a fairly surreal but lovely feeling to find that further on down the road we've now reached five out of five number one albums.

“Our bloody-mindedness and desire to keep on changing as a band seems to have kept us alive, as well as our incredibly loyal and dedicated set of fans - thanks to everyone who has supported us! We hope to see lots of you out on the road over the next year, after which I guess we'll get back in the studio to try to make it six in a row!”

Keane are now set to continue their 'Strangeland' world tour (which has already featured sold out dates in Russia, America and Bexhill-on-Sea) with a string of sell out UK dates in May and June, before heading to North America and Europe.
